Kingdom | Phylum | Class | Order | Family |
Scientific Name: | Incilius melanochlorus | |||
Species Authority: | (Cope, 1877) | |||
Common Name(s):
Synonym(s): |
Bufo melanochlorus Cope, 1877
Taxonomic Notes: | Pacific slope populations have recently been described as a separate species, I. aucoinae (O'Neill and Mendelson, 2004). However, records of Incilius melanochlorus from the Pacific slope remain, and these need further investigation to confirm their identity (Federico Bolaños and Gerardo Chaves pers. comm.). |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 | |||
Year Published: | 2010 | |||
Date Assessed: | 2008-10-14 | |||
Assessor(s): | Bolaños, F., Chaves, G. & Sunyer, J. | |||
Reviewer(s): | Stuart, S.N., Chanson, J.S., Cox, N.A. & Young, B.E. | |||
Justification: Listed as Least Concern since, although its Extent of Occurrence is probably less than 20,000 km2, it is common and somewhat adaptable with a presumed large population, and it is unlikely to be declining to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. |
History: |
Range Description: | This species occurs in the lowlands and middle elevations of the Atlantic slopes and Cordillera Central of Costa Rica, at elevations of 2-1,080m asl. It has recently been recorded from extreme southaeastern Nicaragua (Köhler et al., 2004). |
Countries: | Native: Costa Rica; Nicaragua |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | It is widespread and regularly encountered during breeding periods. It disappeared from Monteverde in the late 1980s and then reappeared in the 1990s (Pounds et al. 1997). |
Population Trend: | Stable |
Habitat and Ecology: | It lives in lowland moist and wet forests and the lower portion of premontane wet forest. It is most likely not very tolerant of either canopy removal of forest or alteration and/or siltation of breeding streams. Other species in this clade are highly intolerant of such impacts. It breeds in large streams and is sometimes encountered on the forest floor. |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater |
Major Threat(s): | Alteration of streams, including pollution is a threat to this species. Chytridiomycosis might be a future threat. |
Conservation Actions: | It occurs in several National Parks and other protected areas, including La Selva, Monteverde and Reserva Indo-Maíz. Population monitoring is recommended in case of outbreaks of chytridiomycosis and/or other diseases. Further studies are needed into the identity of populations allocated to this species from the Pacific coast (Federico Bolaños and Gerardo Chaves pers. comm.). |

Has anyone on Xbox Live played this? It's actually pretty fun if you're playing with some friends. It is completely free and it's in the Game Marketplace section... second tab to the right. I don't know all of the details, but it's apparently just a beta as of right now. On weekdays you can play Extended Play which is available 5:30 'til 11:00, I believe. On weekends there is a two hour live game in which you can compete for Microsoft points and soon you can compete for other prizes like a home theater system. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. It's a good family/friend game. You can test your (random) knowledge with it, and you'll get to see which of your friends is a complete moron. Plus, you'll get great laughs out of idiots missing very simple questions. The questions range from very simple to very tough over the course of the game. Usually there are around 15,000 people participating in each game. Sometimes there's up to 25,000-30,000 when the live games come.
I played it. Loved it. Good time. But I think there is still the feeling that "I will never be part of the 100." They do a good job of making you feel a part of the game somewhat by throwing you into the audience, talking live about the contestant, and what not. But somehow they need to up the odds of getting into the 100 or being the one. That's really why we play. We want that satisifaction of being in the game. That or they need to involve the audience more directly somehow. This gameshow thing could be huge though. They've got a great market and use for the avatars right out of the gate. I've played it a lot. I'm usually getting about 110,000 each play which is enough to beat my group for the most part. But I'm nowhere near the guys at the top getting like 150,000. Got 16 in a row for my record, but think I could do more if I skip questions and all that. I still don't get the scoring, because the skip doesn't seem to amplify all that much. It seems like you are better off just trying to guess the answer to get the 6k points than to skip a tough question. Like the game though. I think this is a big step forward in gaming. Women can definately get into this game.
It's not that hard. Seriously. Use deductive reasoning and you'll get at least 70% of the questions right. Don't worry too much about speed... answering correctly is more important. You have six seconds to answer. Just think. Yea... I feel the same way too. I keep thinking I have a chance at making the mob, then my hopes get completely shattered. One day... one day. It's surprising how horrible most of the mob members are (and the ones as well). Women can get into it, but they'll still suck! By the way, what's your gamertag? I'm on vacation in Florida right now, but I'll start playing once I get back.
i do think about the questions, but a lot of the questions i had were about other countries that i know nothing of. had some soccer questions. who watches soccer in the US? i think they need to divide the countries and players with their own set of questions.

Can someone explain this to me?
post #41 of 90
11/6/12 at 2:54am
Nobody has pointed out that competitor's have managed to squeak out higher ppi's in their 7" tablets (Google Nexus, Amazon Kindle Fire HD). How did they manage to accomplish this, while Apple could not?
With all the manufacturing partnerships that Apple has, why is it that Google/Asus and amazon were able to produce their higher ppi screens, while Apple could not?
Perhaps the question really is, was this a question of production capability, or a purposeful choice?
I highly doubt the former. It seems that Apple purposely chose to use previous generation screen technology from the iPad 2 to save production costs, therefore increasing the profit margin on the iPad mini.
That's fine, but then they should have priced the mini accordingly (say, $50 cheaper).
For the price points the mini is selling at, I would expect at least to *match* the competition's ppi (which are noticeably better for displaying text).
Not only is the screen clearly inferior to anyone (power user or casual user) that uses Retina Display devices, but this apparent purposeful choice to use a previous generation screen is a bit of an insult that I have never experienced in my 12 years of purchasing Apple products...these are the reasons why I won't be replacing my iPad 3 with an iPad mini any time soon.

You Already Said That . . .
I tend to overuse
words. A lot. I have my favorites and they just happen. As writers we need to
be wary of this. Some words you need to use a word ton. Like the and a. Others
not so much. As I recently blogged about, I had serious issues with the word
eyes in my latest work in progress. Three hundred and fifty uses of the word
eyes in an 80,000 novel is a bit much.
You can google
lists of overused words in fiction, but you should also pay attention to your
own word usage. You may pick up a word and use it constantly that isn't on one
of the lists.
Usually, I start my
own list of words to seek and destroy. Do this and create a new list often. I
tend to have word trends or words of the month. A few months ago, the word was
fool. In my novel, everyone was a fool and calling each other fools. Another
time, it was almost fell. My characters were slipping and sliding and almost
falling all over the place.
As you are editing
your novel, pay attention to the words you use. If you are uncertain if a word
is being used too often, use the find all function of your document. Seeing
them all highlight can make a difference.
Happy writing!

Good post. I'm sure I'm guilty of this - probably with me it's "she" because there's a lot of description of what the main character is doing. Have you tried Wordle? You can paste your entire novel into it and it'll show up the most common words biggest. You've reminded me I need to do it!

John Fitch (inventor)
John Fitch (January 21, 1743 – July 2, 1798) was an American inventor, clockmaker, entrepreneur and engineer. He was most famous for operating the first steamboat service in the United States.
Early life[edit]
Fitch was born to Joseph Fitch and Sarah Shaler in Windsor, Connecticut, on January 21, 1743, on a farm that is part of present-day South Windsor, Connecticut. He received little formal schooling and eventually apprenticed himself to a clockmaker, during time Fitch was not allowed to learn or even observe watchmaking (he later taught himself how to repair clocks and watches). He married Lucy Roberts December 29, 1767.[1] Following this apprenticeship in Hartford, he opened an unsuccessful brass foundry in East Windsor, Connecticut and then a brass and silversmith business in Trenton, New Jersey which succeeded for eight years but was destroyed by British troops during the American Revolution.
He served briefly during the Revolution, mostly as a gunsmith working for the New Jersey militia; he left his unit after a dispute over a promotion but continued his work repairing and refitting arms in Trenton. In the fall of 1777, Fitch provided beer and tobacco to the Continental Army in Philadelphia. During the following winter and spring, he provided beer, rum, and other supplies to troops at Valley Forge. In 1780, he began work as a surveyor in Kentucky where he recorded a land claim of 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) for himself. In the spring of 1782, surveying in the Northwest Territory he was captured by Indians and turned over to the British who eventually released him.[2]
Steam-powered boat[edit]
By 1785, Fitch was done with surveying and settled in Warminster, Pennsylvania where he began working on his ideas for a steam-powered boat. Unable to raise funds from the Continental Congress, he persuaded various state legislatures to award him a 14-year monopoly for steamboat traffic on their inland waterways. With these monopolies he was able to secure funding from businessmen and professional citizens in Philadelphia.
Fitch had seen a drawing of an early British Newcomen atmospheric engine in an encyclopedia, but Newcomen engines were huge structures designed to pump water out of mines. He had somehow heard about the more efficient steam engine developed by James Watt in Scotland in the late 1770s, but there was not a single Watt engine in America at that time, nor would there be for many years (Fulton's exported model in his 1807 steamboat, Clermont, would be one of the first) because Britain would not allow the export of new technology to its former colony. Therefore, Fitch attempted to design his own version of a steam engine. He moved to Philadelphia and engaged the clockmaker and inventor Henry Voigt, to help him build a working model and place it on a boat.[3]
The first successful trial run of his steamboat "Perseverance" was made on the Delaware River on August 22, 1787, in the presence of delegates from the Constitutional Convention. It was propelled by a bank of oars on either side of the boat. During the next few years, Fitch and Voigt worked to develop better designs, and in June 1790 launched a 60-foot (18 m) boat powered by a steam engine driving several stern mounted oars. These oars paddled in a manner similar to the motion of a swimming duck's feet. With this boat he carried up to thirty paying passengers on numerous round-trip voyages between Philadelphia and Burlington, New Jersey during the summer of 1790. Estimates of miles traveled that summer range from 1,300 to 3,000 miles, and Fitch claimed that the boat often went for 500 miles without mechanical problems.[4] Estimated speeds were of a minimum 6 miles per hour under unfavorable conditions, to a maximum of 7 or 8 miles per hour.[5]
Fitch was granted a patent on August 26, 1791, after a battle with James Rumsey, who had also invented a steam-powered boat. Unfortunately, the newly created Patent Commission did not award the broad monopoly patent that Fitch had asked for, but a patent of the modern kind, for the new design of Fitch's steamboat. It also awarded steam-engine-related patents dated that same day to Rumsey, Nathan Read, and John Stevens. The loss of a monopoly due to these same-day patent awards led many of Fitch's investors to leave his company. While his boats were mechanically successful, Fitch no longer had the financial resources to carry on.
Fitch's idea would be turned profitable by Robert Fulton two decades later. Though Fulton was able to obtain a monopoly in the state of New York, because of the powerful influence of his partner Robert Livingston, he was unable to gain a US patent largely because the originality of Fulton's designs could not be demonstrated; it didn't help that because an original member of Fitch's company, William Thornton, had become head of the newly created Patent Office and made the application process even more difficult for Fulton. Fitch had also received a patent in 1791 from France, and in 1793, having given up hope of building a steamboat in the United States, left for France, where an American investor, Aaron Vail, had promised to help him build a boat there. As his luck would have it, Fitch arrived just as the Reign of Terror was beginning, and his plans had to be abandoned. He made his way to London to make an attempt there, but that also failed. He returned to the United States in 1794 and made a few more tries to build a steamboat. Failing once again, he moved to Bardstown, Kentucky, in 1797, where he hoped to sell some of the lands he had acquired there in the early 1780s and use the proceeds to build a steamboat for use on the Ohio or Mississippi River. He arrived to find settlers occupying his properties, with the result that legal disputes occupied him until his death in 1798.[6]
Steam locomotive[edit]
While living in Kentucky, Fitch continued to work on steam engine ideas. He built two models, one of which was lost in a fire in Bardstown. The other was found in the attic of his daughter's house in Ohio in 1849. The model still exists at the Ohio Historical Society Museum in Columbus.[7] In the 1950s, experts from the Smithsonian Museum examined it and concluded that it was "the prototype of a practical land-operating steam engine," meant to operate on tracks – in other words, a steam locomotive.[8]
In 1802, the Englishman Richard Trevithick invented a full-size steam locomotive that, in 1804, hauled the world's first locomotive-hauled railway train, and within a short time the British invention led to the development of actual railways. Americans began importing English locomotives and copying them.[9]
His legal dispute over state monopoly rights with fellow steamboat inventor James Rumsey and others helped bring about the enactment of the first Patent Act of 1790. He is mentioned in the personal letters of several historical figures including George Washington,[10] Benjamin Franklin,[11] Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison.[12]
Despite his obscurity among other American inventors and engineering pioneers such as Fulton and Peter Cooper, Fitch's contributions have not been forgotten and has been remembered with a number of memorials and namesakes. The John Fitch Steamboat Museum on the grounds of Craven Hall in Warminster, Pennsylvania includes a one tenth scale (6 feet (1.8 m)-long), 100 pounds (45 kg) model of Fitch's original steamboat.[13][14]
Other remembrances include:
- An 1876 fresco in the United States Capitol by Constantino Brumidi depicts Fitch working on one of his steamboat models.[15]
- A memorial to Fitch stands in Bardstown, Kentucky's Courthouse Square with a replica of his first steamboat.
- A small Fitch Monument in Warminster, Pennsylvania was moved in September 2012 from York and Street Roads to the Craven Hall Historical Society site and site of the John Fitch Steamboat Museum at the southeast corner of Street & Newtown Roads in Warminster, PA.
- John Fitch High School was built on Bloomfield Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut in the 1934. It became an elementary school in the 1950s. The building was converted to elderly housing in the 1990s, but its facade still bears Fitch's name and likeness carved in stone. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[16]
- The John Fitch Elementary School in Levittown, Pennsylvania.
- The state of Connecticut has designated US 5 through South Windsor and East Windsor as the "John Fitch Boulevard". The four-lane highway runs parallel to, and often within sight of, the Connecticut River.
- The state of New Jersey designated a section of NJ 29 in Trenton, along the Delaware River, the John Fitch Parkway.
- Fitch's journal and memoirs were published many years later as The Autobiography of John Fitch.

Keys to the Kingdom – 2. Experiencing
From All-Creatures
Christian Living
True Christian living requires us to live according to Kingdom standards which bring Heaven to earth
Keys to the Kingdom – 2. Experiencing
"They are not part of this world anymore than I am."
(John 17:16)"I have given them the glory you gave me – the glorious unity of being one, as we are – I in them and you in me, all being perfected into one – so that the world will know you sent me and will understand that you love them as much as you love me."
(John 17:22-23)Living in the Kingdom of God is a state of being in which you no longer need God to remind you to love Him, others, and all of creation, you simply do. It is a wonderfully experienced state of living in His love. Great joy and happiness are felt. All the fruits of the Holy Spirit are operational, including unconditional love, deep peace, kindness, and gentleness. One has the feeling of "being on top of the world," of being free, and of participating in another dimension or realm of reality. Words seem inadequate to describe such a state, but terms such as clearness, transcendence, and transparence might contribute to a description. Kingdom people seek the simple clearness of real truth and do not shrink from it. Life is interesting. People know what they really stand for. Because of the prevalence of positive emotional states, physical health and healing are noticeably enhanced.
We have a deep sense of security and an assurance that our lives are meaningful. We have intrinsic self-esteem, knowing we are precious children of the Father. We are valued irrespective of what we possess or of how we may have "messed up" our lives in earlier years. There is no pressure, or feeling that we have to hurry with anything, because all eternity is before us.. We feel exceedingly humble, being quite aware that we are residing in the Kingdom only by the grace of God, and that continued progress, including our capacity to listen to, obey, and learn from God can be lost, should we drift away.
Interpersonally, the Kingdom is a place where friends are true friends. They are truly loving and bonded to one another, considerate, and keep commitments as much as possible. They relate in truth, telling no lies, and having no deceptions. Empathetic transmission is ongoing. One person knows what another needs, and responds accordingly, so relationships are just full of joy, and fun, too!! Two or more together in the Kingdom have more spiritual power than one alone. The fountain of love and warmth inside Kingdom people pours out to others they come in contact with. (Could this fountain possibly be akin to the "living waters" Christ was talking about?)
Communicating with animals is enhanced, due to the pureness of heart of the Kingdom residents. People feel so much gentleness, compassion, and love toward other species, they would never want to cause any kind of suffering to them or anyone. If they see a need, they dearly desire to "make it ok."
When we live in the Kingdom we will bear great fruit!!! (Notice the condition!!!)
